Castles in the Sky
When life’s been pillaged of calm
I yearn for welcome release
Somewhere far beyond life’s qualms
To know solace and deep peace
I build castles in the sky
Where I retreat now and then
I build castles in the sky
But I never move in
I go there to think and pray
Where no one can breach a thought
A safe place to steal away
And ponder what God has wrought
My castles are of brief worth
Short escapes from tough battles
Encountered here on this earth
‘Fore bang of heaven’s gavel
I build castles in the sky
Where I retreat now and then
I build castles in the sky
But I never move in
